I've been here since 2015 and I feel stupid how it didn't occur to me before or maybe the current events or over-sensitive millennials make this question relevant.

I wouldn't care if someone posts racist comments against me or expect people to get butthurt over the racist comments on the forum. However, since racism is becoming such an "issue" (to a point where GitHub wants to replace the master-slave branch structure) do you think there should be a set of rules governing the same on bitcointalk?

 If yes, to what extent?

Calling someone a "Pajeet, Habibi, curry muncher, white trash, etc" in a post should be allowed or frowned upon? Let me know your thoughts on this.

When TF did Habibi become a racial slur? Habibi means dear or darling in arabic, and tbh i've never heard of it being used in an offensive manner.

Yeah sure, calling a guy Habibte (female version) from time to time, but thats all in good humor and usually amongst close friends
